James Kalm slips into Soho for a Thursday night debut opening of Carriage Trade. Located right above Finneli's bar at Prince and Mercer Streets, this location has been an artist's haven since the 1960s. With "The Cult of Personality, Portraits and Mass Culture" we're presented with images that question and critique the myth-making that acts as cement bonding modern society. Whether art world celebrities of political leaders our perception and desires are manipulated by pictures. Featuring an interview with Vitaly Komar.

This isn't about the art work. Vitaly Komar is a great artist, very intelligent guy. His collection is about the cults of Washington and Stalin not the men per se. I dug the piece. If her would have said " eets Moose und Squirrel" he would have knocked me out.
